I have some virgin Hornady 270 brass that you can seat primers with a pencil eraser. They are good for 1 firing, unless you are willing to glue in the primers.

Have you had any luck with this? I'm looking for the same thing. Have you posted this question on any other forums? I need help!! I'm tired of searching the internets. :(

The Autotrickler manual says if it will not weigh 19/20 within .02 of a grain then something is wrong. It's amazing.

RCBS wouldn't warranty any of their other Chargemasters, why would they honor this one? People had a ton of problems with Chargemasters. RCBS is owned by Vista Outdoors, Vista is not known for standing behind their products. Plus it is a strain gauge scale, they will drift. Why pay that much...

Ceproducts.com and Data Weighing Systems have the full package for under 1k. Set mine up a few weeks ago. It took longer to get it out of the box than it did to set it up. 5 mins to set it up. All of you old guys shouldn't be afraid of a little app on your phone. There is only 5 buttons that...

The legs would fill with snow, the snow would freeze and then they wouldn't adjust. A few days I just left the legs extended because they were frozen up.

I used an Atlas extensively this year in hunting season. It was horrible in the snow and freezing temps. I had nothing but problems all year. Next year I will go back to Harris bipods in hunting season. For long range during the summer the Atlas is king, its just not snow friendly.

The SFP NX8 is suppose to come out in the first quarter of next year

I would suggest you at least think about planning ahead if you might shoot farther. Dad didn't plan on shooting more than 800 yards with his new lightweight elk rifle, he's just getting into long range. The first day after load development we shot out to 1300. First round hits at 1800 is as far...

I was told by Nightforce that the SFP NX8 should be out in the first quarter of next year. Dad won't own a FFP for the exact reason you stated. Quote... "Why should I have to light up my cross hairs just so all these guys can pretend to measure things in their scope? What exactly are all these...

I'm calling Vortex today about a HSLR that won't return to zero after you dial it up for a long shot. It was supposed to go on a 7RM from the seventies but dad put it on his new rifle, the plan was to swap it out this winter. After we send it in to get "fixed" I still won't trust that scope and...

I see you're from a place in WY with lots of elk. Just curious why you went south to different mountains to hunt?

I visually inspect all the Berger meplats, when we don't like one it is used for load development or shooting rocks. We do insert a small needle into the cavity to ensure there is a cavity there. You will find one out of every 200-400 that is not a true hollow point, IE. the hollow point is not...

Don't do a thing before you check your zero. This year we shot at 600 to dial in our velocities in the cold just prior to season. Dad couldn't find the steel. His scope was off 3 MOA. His Vortex belongs in a trash can.

You made a good choice Muddy. I'm just north of you on the Wyoming side. It was an absolute wreck on the mountain during and after the storm. 4 search and rescue operations, 1 guy still missing a week later, videos of campers in the ditch and 1 dangling off a cliff. The forest had 16-30" of snow...
